[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Today was a very nice day to work outside and clean inside.  Bright, sunny, and fairly warm.  Most of the snow is gone so you could go outside with only a light jacket.  As I was cleaning I found some old tapes.  I just listened to Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, and currently a tape I made of the creek near my house in Wisconsin.  It is the middle of summer and you can hear the many planes flying overhead during the EAA fly-in.  I went to my first fly-in when they were still in Rockford but they moved twice to get to their present location near Oshkosh.  Next I think I will listen to my Plasmatics tape for a little change of pace :)
   I did many amateur related activities this week but none of them were on the air.  I went to the ARES meeting on Tuesday, taught an ECOM class on Wednesday, while earlier in the week I had developed an ECOM training exercise for our county.  Other than that I just worked, went to school, and went to a lot of meetings.  That is why I needed to clean today.  I had no time to do much other than feed Sam and the fireplace throughout the week.  I am hearing all the birds singing as they wait their turn to bath in the pools next to the creek.  I can feel the summer air and smell the creek simply from the tape I made in the early '90s!  I made another the next night but it was dominated by a few very, very loud crickets.
   Hopefully the bands will be good for us tomorrow.  Who can tell?  Soon I will move the second net back to 0200z because the sun is coming back north at a very nice pace.  That way I can make dinner between the nets like I used to.  Well, I used to eat whatever Pat prepared and tell her about folks on the twenty meter net but I can no longer do that; I have to put up with whatever I cook :)  However, that is improving as the years go by.  I just heard a cicada; I have not heard one of those in many years.

Please join us tomorrow evening.
